Crucifixion of Armenian girls by the Turks - Armenian Genocide Museum Yerevan Armenia
Denial is the last stage of Genocide. But silence is even more deadly, because it ensures that the genocide is complete.
Genocide-centenary Exhibition at Armenian Genocide Museum-Institute
(English-language video. For the Armenian version, visit
Following two and half years of renovations, the Armenian Genocide Museum-Institute, in Yerevan’s Tsitsernakaberd Memorial Complex, reopened on April 24, 2015, with a large-scale exhibition dedicated to the centenary of the Armenian Genocide.
The renovated museum features 12 new galleries and never-before-seen artifacts. Photos of 1915’s death marches and the new eyewitness exhibition are juxtaposed with images of Armenian intellectuals who were massacred during the Genocide. In addition to photos of eyewitnesses who survived the carnage, the exhibition includes some of their personal belongings, such as a bullet that was extracted from the chest of a survivor called Haykanush, who was shot by a Turkish soldier.
The museum’s thousands of visitors include travelers from abroad. One American couple has donated to the museum a tiny glass bottle filled with grains of rice, bought from an antique shop. In the aftermath of the Genocide, such bottles, each containing a daily ration for 750 children, were sent by Americans as donations to Near East Relief for feeding Armenian orphans.
The new exhibition features state-of-the-art technologies and display systems. They include audio guides in seven languages, separate galleries for viewing eyewitness stories, and touch screens on which visitors can explore Genocide photos and articles published by the international press.
Today the Armenian Genocide Museum-Institute is two and half times its original size, featuring a considerably expanded collection of eyewitness testimonies, documents, and artifacts.

Tsitsernakaberd, Armenian Genocide Memorial, Yerevan, Armenia, Eurasia
Tsitsernakaberd is a memorial dedicated to the victims of the Armenian Genocide; it is located on a hill overlooking Yerevan, Armenia. Every year on April 24, hundreds of thousands of Armenians gather here to remember the victims of the 1915 Armenian Genocide that took place in the Ottoman Empire carried out by the Turkish government. The memorial sits on one of three hills along the Hrazdan River that carry the name Tsitsernakaberd, and was the site of what was once an Iron Age fortress. Most of the above ground traces at this peak have since disappeared, but upon the smaller hill are still traces of a castle. Archaeological surveys took place in 2007, and excavations uncovered a wall that is hundreds of meters long and may still be seen in many places above ground. An altar cut from stone sits in the middle of a square at the edge of one of the hills, and large stones that weigh approximately two tons are still visible that cover graves from the second millennium BC. Apartments were later built along the hills during Roman times, and were built over with other structures during medieval years. Nearby are also the remains of a very large building with a cave. Construction of the memorial began in 1966 (during Soviet times) in response to the 1965 Yerevan demonstrations during which one million people demonstrated in Yerevan for 24 hours to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Genocide. The memorial is designed by architects Arthur Tarkhanyan, Sashur Kalashyan and artist Hovhannes Khachatryan. It was completed in November 1967. The 44 meter stele symbolizes the national rebirth of Armenians. 12 slabs are positioned in a circle, representing the 12 lost provinces in present day Turkey. In the center of the circle, at a depth of 1.5 meters, there is an eternal flame dedicated to the 1.5 million Armenians killed during the Armenian Genocide. Along the park at the memorial there is a 100 meter wall with names of towns and villages where massacres are known to have taken place. On the rear side of the commemoration wall, plates have been attached to honor persons who have committed themselves to relieving the distress of the victims during and after the genocide (among others: Johannes Lepsius, Franz Werfel, Armin T. Wegner, Henry Morgenthau Sr., Fridtjof Nansen, Pope Benedict XV, Jakob Künzler, Bodil Biørn). As an act of commemoration of the victims, an alley of trees has been planted. The Armenian Genocide Museum opened its doors in 1995, concurrently commemorating the eightieth anniversary of the Genocide. The Museum structure, planned by architects S. Kalashian, Lyudmila Mkrtchyan and sculptor F. Araqelyan, has a unique design. Since opening its doors, the Museum has received many thousands of visitors including schoolchildren, college students and huge numbers of tourists from outside Armenia. The museum provides guided tours in Armenian, Russian, English, French and German. The Republic of Armenia has made visiting the Armenian Genocide Museum part of the official State protocol and many official foreign delegations have already visited the Museum. These delegations have included Pope John Paul II, President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin, President of France Jacques Chirac, and other well-known social and political figures. The museum contains historical documents and is open to the public for tours. The impressive two-story building is built directly into the side of a hill so as not to detract from the imposing presence of the Genocide Monument nearby. The roof of the Museum is flat and covered with concrete tiles. It overlooks the scenic Ararat Valley and majestic Mount Ararat. The first floor of the Museum is subterranean and houses the administrative, engineering and technical maintenance offices as well as Komitas Hall, which seats 170 people. Here also are situated the storage rooms for museum artifacts and scientific objects, as well as a library and a reading hall. The Museum exhibit is located on the second floor in a space just over 1,000 square meters in size. There are three main indoor exhibit halls and an outer gallery with its own hall. The Genocide Monument is designed to memorialize the innocent victims of the first Genocide of the 20th century. The Genocide Museum's mission is rooted in the fact that understanding the Armenian Genocide is an important step in preventing similar future tragedies, in keeping with the notion that those who forget the past are condemned to repeat it. The current director of the Museum is Dr. Hayk Demoyan.

Kim and Kourtney Kardashian visit Armenian Genocide Memorial in Yerevan
Reality TV superstar Kim #Kardashian is on damage control duty in her ancestral homeland #Armenia after her decision to produce some of her SKIMS undergarment line in Turkey drew the criticism of an Armenian-American advocacy group in September.
Footage shows Kardashian and her sister Courtney leaving Yerevan’s Alexander hotel and making their way through the cheering fans to a car on Monday. The sisters and their seven children had arrived at Zvartnots International Airport earlier that day.
While Kim herself has been leading calls for the US government to recognise the Armenian Genocide, she came under fire for choosing Turkey as one of the production sites for SKIMS.
The Armenian National Committee of America condemned her decision and demanded she change the production site to Armenia instead in a tweet.
The 38-year-old reality star who has Armenian heritage through her now-deceased father Robert Kardashian replied in a tweet saying, … I hope to seek ways I can help increase trade and hopefully create jobs for Armenians which includes SKIMS production there in the future.

STORYLINE:
German Foreign Minister Frank Walter Steinmeier on Thursday visited the genocide museum in Yerevan.
Steinmeier is on a two-day visit to the Armenian capital.
On June 2 the German Parliament adopted a resolution calling the mass killings of ethic Armenians by Ottoman Turks in 1915 a genocide. The Turkish government has denounced the vote.
Historians estimate that up to 1.5 million Armenians were killed by Ottoman Turks around the time of World War I, an event widely viewed by genocide scholars as the first genocide of the 20th century.
Turkey however denies that the deaths constituted genocide, saying the toll has been inflated, and that those killed were victims of civil war and unrest.
